lyrics

Ivy doesn’t want to be alone
Ivy doesn’t want to be alone
At Christmas time
At Christmas time

Festive lights are sparkling in the rain
But she’s walking down the lonely street again
Searching for a place
To sleep tonight

Bells are ringing out to mark the day
Voices carry through across the grey
Singing songs of praise
For the baby in the hay

And it’s hard to hope for something more
Than a place to lay beside a door

But she’s holding on
To that Joni Mitchell song
Yeah she’s holding on
To that Joni Mitchell song
As if somehow it’s not so bad
When she’s
Leaning in to feeling sad
As if somehow it’s not so bad
When she’s
Leaning in to feeling sad

But Ivy doesn’t want to be alone
No Ivy doesn’t want to be alone
At Christmas time
At Christmas time

And it’s cold out here
At this time of year
And there’s no one near
To see her tears

But she’s holding on
To that Joni Mitchell song
Yeah she’s holding on
To that Joni Mitchell song
As if somehow it’s not so bad
When she’s
Leaning in to feeling sad
As if somehow it’s not so bad
when she’s
Leaning in to feeling sad
